Right city, wrong Club.
Go down the road and follow the signs till you get to the dairy farm.

Oh, no. Please don't say....."When I was a lad"

OK.....when I was in primary school...............


So how many here remember him.........???

Andy Porplycia? he was one of my favourites, along with Ivan Eckermann, Lenny Warren, Randall Gerlach, Neville Phillips (Greg's brother) Carl Fragomeni, Bruce Light.

and then from earlier days Keith Spencer, Kevin "Sambo" Salmon. Reg Beaufoy, Bob Clayton, Dennis Errey, Ron Elleway and "Bubbles" Obst

There are 100's of them, from Black Jack and God to "Sticks" Dolan (who played one great game for Port, the 1979 Grand Final, Chris Natt was out suspended)

Well the early days for me really were around 75/76 with 76 probably the first year I saw a whole season........

Neville Phillips.......from memory was homesick and only played the one season............

Bruce Light I remember coming off the bench against Norwood at Alberton one day and running straight across the ground..........Roger Wood**** (Norwod) was bouncing the ball along the wing, turned to look around and promptly dropped the ball and kept running...........

79 GF.......before the game each of the South players had a tennis ball to concentrate on...........didn't do them any good.........

and Natty has now seen the light and is running footy up here in the NT..

The others are before my time but I have seen quite a few highlights from that era on old B/W clips.......


Might start another thread looking back on some of those great premiership sides..........

Just on the interesting draft doubles at #8 and #18....(or #6 & #16)

I joined the AFL website today (yes, I'm a whore), and there were a couple of interesting interviews with Jared Brennan and Anthony Corrie.

Turns out Brennan is a Port fan, but a lot of his family is in Brisbane, so he'd rather go there, which he'd be fairly likely to....he named three clubs he'd like to go to, but Port wasn't one of them because he didn't want to move to Adelaide

Corrie is also a Port fan, and a cousin of Fabian Francis! This may help explain his reportedly explosive temper when being niggled.

While I'm at it, apparently Byron Schammer is a Crows fan....but he didn't sound too convinced. Could be some hope for him yet.

I don't rate Adelaide's chances of picking him up at #36 anyway.

But nobody thought we'd still be able to pick up Dom Cassisi at pick #50... the draft is highly unpredictable, nothing more certain that all the phantom drafts will sort of fall to pieces after about pick #1...
